Fabrap (Japanese-inspired fabric gift wrap)
Fabric wrap is inspired by the Japanese method of wrapping gifts, using decorative tea towels or fabric scraps. You can use fabric wrap to everything from books to bottles. The giver or recipient can then pop the wrap in a drawer, and use it again the next time a gift is given.

It’s ideal for in-house giving (say family and friends), with no scissors or tape required.
Fabrap offers beautifully illustrated organic cotton gift wraps, packed in recycled paper envelopes, with notecards to keep or give back the wrap, once gifts are opened. Some wraps are reversible, so you can choose from two patterns.
HappyWrap is a company that also produces beautifully designed gift wrap, in organic cotton. Use to wrap bottles to books to jewellery. The brand was inspired by Dick Whittington, who would carry all his belongings in a fabric bag on a stick!
This fabric gift wrap features a beautiful sea turtle print, sure to inspire friends who love our endangered marine creature friends.
The naturally coloured fabrics have lovely weight, so need for lining and your gifts remain nicely hidden. The orders include cotton cord and a recycled card gift tag with cotton twine.
Sent in zero waste packaging with an illustrated guide to get you started, choose the correct size:
- Small is good for wine, gloves, books, DVDs, bracelet or watch boxes, aftershave, clutch bags or iPads.
- Medium is good for shoe boxes, board games, shirts, boxed gadgets and portable radios.
The company also sells recycled paper gift wrap and sustainable Lokta paper (from a bark that sheds naturally each year in Nepal and provides jobs).
